Rerouting all php requests through index.php

Question

How can I reroute all requests for php pages through index.php?

My .htaccess is as follows:

Options +FollowSymLinks
IndexIgnore */*
#Turn on the Rewr

Here's what I use (and have used for ages):

    # Redirect /index.php to / (optional, but recommended I guess)
    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*index\.php
    RewriteRule ^index.php/?(.*)$ $1 [R=301,L]

    # Run everything else but real files through index.php
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

As the comments suggest it will route every request that isn't an actual file to index.php
